Not All Angels Know How To Fly Some angels fly on wispy wings And play on sunlit clouds Some angels soar in skies of blue High above earth's crowds Some angels glide on gusts of wind Between the snow capped mountains Some have their image cast in stone Adorning concrete fountains Some angels sport halos of gold But yet, there are some others Not blessed with wings, halos, or flight God simply made them mothers HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY Ruth Grattan 5/14/2000 To love means never to be afraid of the windstorms of life: should you shield the canyons from the windstorms you would never see the true beauty of their carvings. ~Elizabeth Kubler-Ross |

This is a nice tribute for Mothersday. But moreso to yourself "MOM". Well done Ruth. Your still getting better everytime I look. The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Hoot~ This is pure pleasure. We mom's don't need much for our efforts ... just a phone call, a hug, a kiss and knowing our kids are okay. I certainly enjoyed this one, Ruth. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

It's officialy true, angels are everywhere, they certainly don't all fly although sometimes the wounders that they do seem truly miraculess . Thanks to all the mums out there for keeping the world running as properly as possible . And if any of you angels want to borrow my wing so as you can fly then I'm charging £5.00 an hour ( sorry I don't know what that is in dollars !) . L.of.L. Tom . Insanity is a perfectly normal responce to an abnormal world -R.D.Laing.- |
